The foreign kings, who adopted the titles and regalia of the Egyptian pharaohs, dominated Egypt for most of the Second Intermediate Period. Frequently referred to as ‘Asiatics’ by the Egyptians, the Hyksos originated from the Middle East and extended their political and economic influence as far as Cusae in Middle Egypt.

Originating from strongly fortified towns in the Asiatic region, they had access to the latest military technology. Egypt’s primitive weapons and haphazard army was no match for this “Well equipped fighting machine” and so, to expel them and regain land, status and wealth; they needed to adopt such weaponry. Probably the most important weapon was the War Chariot, which enabled the conquest of the Near East, by allowing mobile warfare, thus obtaining valuable trade routes and resources. They differed from traditional Egyptian Chariotry, having additional stability (for rough terrains), speed (pulled by two horses), and size (two warriors: a driver and a fighter).

What started off as an attraction to the East, and not the West, led Europeans to discover the Americas.

European nations were indeed more advance, but the main reasons why they were so successful at colonizing the Americas in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries relies heavily on their desire to colonize, immunity from old world diseases, and a well-equipped military. During the sixteenth century, European nations had the desire
